No. 222 Fifth Avenue. The occasion was that of the opening of the elegant new club room. Shortly after 8 o’clock, M. Du Chaillu entered the spacious parlors, and was warmly wel comed. After a gracefnl allusion to the achievements of M. Du Chaillu, Mr. Dunbar introduced the renowned guest to the audience, who renewed their demonstrations of cordial welcome. M. Du Chaiilu spoke as follows: Ladies and Gentlemen: I came to-day from Putnam county, in the State of New York, little thinking of the re ception I should obtain here to-night. I agreed with Mr. Dunbar for this meeting with the Traveler's Club to “talk,” but I bad no i I a ihat ridics would b . •rniited.

They say that if a man is jeal ous of another he tries to kill him. Hence, when a man dies they always summon the heirs of the estate. The estate is composed of slaves and wives.

SKULLS, 1 also secured fiftec n chimpanzee’s skins and skulls, more than two thousand birds, thous ands of insects' shells, and also succeeded in securing one hundred and twenty skulls of negroes.

The older the men are the young er they want their wives. Well, we can t blame them for that, you know. Being a bachelor myself, 1 find my taste has not chang ed at all. I am just as fond of young ladies as I was before. They make love all day.— They walk out irt night and call out, “Wives, me. If you don’t, I have laves; and if you don’t love morrow l will give you a thrashing.”— This thrashing ii> a very serious thing, and in that they arc very ••Iuut j the morning you will find fond of each other. skulls of our forefathers.

Every one said: Y'ou must not tell.” Every one said the same thing. [Laughter.] 1 was glad to get these skulls. They are cer tainly pure-blooded negroes, it is a great thing for us to have the skulls. ANTIQUITY OF THE GORILLA. Some part of the country I have exploded was perhaps known to the great .Carthagipian navigator, of whom it was related that he captured three female gorillas, but they were so ferocious that he was obliged to kill them and'Piny mentions that the skins were still in the Temple of Juno when the Romans took Carthage. However, gorilla remained un known until UteJj, he has been brought to light again. p WARTS. In these vast jungles I visited more than thirty tribes. Among them were the dwarfs from three to four and lrom four to five feet high These dwarfs always move westward, towards tli£ head waters of the Nile. When ever I have questioned the negroes about where they caiuc from, they have always mov ed from the east towards tiie west. These tribes are exceedingly warlike. They are not very wild. CANNIBALS. fatner-in-laws are a great curse to that coun try, I assure you. The largest number of wives T have seen, T think, was three hundred, J inquired of one of their majesties how many wives he had, and he said six hundred. The ambition of a man is to get wives. In some tribes a man must get a sword first in order to protect bis wife. There are few fowls or cats, or any animals that are domesticated in that country. The women are not allowed to eat meat. The men have all the flesh to themselves. ABOUT DRINKS. They are very fond of intoxicating drink, and I used to remonstrate with them in vain. They have various kinds of drinks of palm wine, and plantain or honey water, and sugar cane. But sugar cane drink gives them the headeaehe. When I used to tell them what horrid brutes they were, they said, “Look at the gorilla: he drinks water.” Amid tile wrecks that mark path I kneel, and wailing o’er my glories gone. I still each thought of hate, each throb of wrath, And whisper. Father. let Thy wi’.l be done ! Pity ini', Father, of the Desolate ! Alas! my burdens are so hard to near ; Look down in rnerev on my wretched fate, And keep me, guard me, with thy loving care. Pity me*, Father, for His holy sake, Whose broken heart bled at the fget of grief. That hearts of earth, wherever they shall break. Might g'o to Hmi and find a sure relief. All, me, how dark !

They made a quantity of l blacking, and tilled all the old bottles they could , obtain with the mixture. j This done, a friend of the partners went to all the grocers and blacking nn rehants of London, and addressed to each one the question “Have ■ you Day A Martin's blacking ?” * * And all the shopkeepers naturally enough an swered, “No.” The next day another friend went the rounds, j — —— — and to each merchant ho propounded the qnes-I . -n t> tion that his predecessor had done.
